Come on. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Warner Bros)

"Cutting Class" was Brad's first major role in a feature film, so it is hard to critice him for taking the part... but not that hard. The movie features Pitt as local basketball star Dwight Ingalls, a suspect in a string of gruesome murders plaguing a small town. The movie, cast and script were all mediocre and failed to impress.
